The Denver Nuggets and Brooklyn Nets meet Wednesday in NBA action at the Barclays Center. The Denver Nuggets look for a win after winning five of their last seven games. The Brooklyn Nets look for a win after splitting their last 12 games. 

The Denver Nuggets are averaging 107.9 points on 46.9 percent shooting and allowing 106.9 points on 46.7 percent shooting. Nikola Jokic is averaging 26.1 points and 13.8 rebounds, while Will Barton is averaging 15.3 points and 4.8 rebounds. Aaron Gordon is the third double-digit scorer and Monte Morris is grabbing 2.8 rebounds. The Denver Nuggets are shooting 34.6 percent from beyond the arc and 77.1 percent from the free throw line. The Denver Nuggets are allowing 34.3 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 43 rebounds per game.

The Brooklyn Nets are averaging 111.8 points on 47.3 percent shooting and allowing 109.4 points on 43.9 percent shooting. James Harden is averaging 22.6 points and 10 assists, while Kyrie Irving is averaging 22 points and 5 rebounds. LaMarcus Aldridge is the third double-digit scorer and Patty Mills is grabbing 2.1 rebounds. The Brooklyn Nets are shooting 35 percent from beyond the arc and 82.3 percent from the free throw line. The Brooklyn Nets are allowing 32.6 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 45.1 rebounds per game.

The Nuggets are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Nets are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 home games and 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games overall. The over is 6-1 in Nuggets last 7 overall. The under is 5-2 in Nets last 7 games playing on 0 days rest. The Nuggets are 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Brooklyn and 5-16 ATS in the last 21 meetings.

The Denver Nuggets have been hit or miss this season, so I can understand the hesitation with this line, but being the underdog here to the shorthanded Nets is weird. The Brooklyn Nets are on the end of a back to back and won't have Durant or Kyrie yet again. The Nets are giving big minutes to bench players at best, and Harden seems to be getting more and more frustrated. The Nuggets being an underdog here is questionable at best. I'll gladly side with the Nuggets here.
